Hinata's Fox: Chapter 1

Naruto walked along the streets completely relaxed. There was no training today for any of the genin students because the hokage had called some meeting for all all of the adults in the village.

He was sixteen years old. He was quite handsome now, his hair had grown so that it covered his eyes somewhat, and his eyes had become the most brilliant light blue, with specks of dark blue surrounding his pupils. He didn't wear his bright orange outfit anymore, for he had grown out of it long ago. Instead he wore a dark blue hakama and gi, bringing out his beautiful eyes.

He had been thinking about going out to get some ramen, when all of a sudden, he ran into Sasuke.

"You should watch where you're going, Naruto." He said, adding a hint of malice when he said his name.

Naruto rolled his eyes. "Sasuke, stop acting like you're so cool. It's really getting on my nerves!" He said with a deeper voice. He was sixteen after all, and he didn't have a twelve year old voice anymore.

At this point, though, any threat that they gave each other were not truly meant.

"Hey, Sasuke, have any money? I need Ramen."

Sasuke sighed. "Even if I had money, I wouldn't give it to you, Naruto. I think that you're getting a little too obsessed with ramen."

Naruto was about to say something rude to Sasuke, but he saw something that stole his attention away.

Hinata.

She was walking by the restraunt, buying food. She didn't wear that trench coat anymore. She wore an outfit similar to Sakura's, except it was lavender and white. On some days, she would wear the over-sized coat, but she had grown out of it.

Sasuke smirked. "Well, Naruto. I knew it was coming. But, the thing with you is, well..." Sasuke leaned up against the fence. "You aren't that smooth with girls."

Naruto whirled around to look at Sasuke. "Oh, and you are?" He realized what he had just said. Sasuke had a fan girl group! He prayed that Hinata wasn't apart of it...

"That'll be ten dollars and twenty-three cents, miss!" Said the lady behind the counter to Hinata. Hinata dug through her pocket.

"Oh, miss, I'm sorry, I only have ten..."

"You need twenty-three more cents."

Naruto dug through his pocket, hoping that maybe, by some miracle, he had twenty-three cents. He could have jumped for joy when he found a quarter in his pocket. He ran behind Hinata and handed the lady a quarter.

"Don't worry about it, Hinata-san, I have quarter for you!" He said politely, Sasuke suddenly wondering why he had used such an honorific. Maybe he was just trying to impress Hinata.

"N-Naruto-san... th-thank you..." Hinata said with a blush on her face.

"It was nothing!" Naruto waved his hand in a dismissing way. "Believe it!"

Sasuke smirked. Naruto wasn't that bad, but not as good as he was. All of a sudden, he felt a warm hand on his shoulder. He turned around and to his surprise saw Sakura.

"Hey, Sasuke, whatchya doing?"

"Nothing. Just watching Naruto's pathetic attempt to flirt." He gestured to Hinata and Naruto.

Sakura laughed. "Poor Naruto... I'll have to give him lessons or something." She stopped giggling. "Hey... that's actually a pretty good idea..."

The group started towards Naruto's house for Ramen.

Tsunabe's office:

"People, Naruto is a citizen of this town and you should all stop carrying on with these ideas!" Yelled Tsunabe angrily. The whole reason for this meeting was for Naruto's sake. She knew those accusing glares that people gave him. She was afraid that the villagers would try to do something to Naruto and she couldn't let that happen.

"But, Hokage-sama, He has the Spirit of the Nine Tailed Fox..."

"I am quite aware of that." She said in a low, dangerous voice. "It was not his choice, do you understand? He isn't dangerous..."

A man stood up and proclaimed, " He is dangerous! We can't let the Nine Tailed Fox kill us! Imagine what he could do to us! Our children!"

Many of the townspeople nodded their heads and sighed in agreement.

"Listen!" Yelled Tsunabe. "This is getting out of hand!"

It was too late. The towns people were riled up now. The jonin and the teachers stood there, impassive. Kakashi walked silently up to Tsunabe.

"What are we going to do? These people want to chase Naruto out... I can hear them talking about killing him."

Tsunabe's eyes flared. "This is not going to be good. Kakashi, I need you to do everything in your power to stop these people if it gets out of hand. Don't hurt anyone, make sure Naruto is safe." Kakashi nodded.

At Naruto's house; Evening:

Sakura, Sasuke, Hinata and Naruto sat in a messy living room eating Ramen.

"So Hinata, how's your love life?" Asked Sakura.

Hinata blushed and looked at Naruto and Sasuke, who were too busy bickering to notice what Sakura had said. "Wh-what do you mean..."

Sakura smirked. "Oh, you know what I mean. C'mon, you can tell your ol' buddy Sakura!"

Hinata sweat dropped. She really didn't want to tell Sakura anything about who she liked, because knowing her, she would try to take action. Not that she didn't like Sakura, not that at all. In fact, they had gotten a bit closer and had become friend over the past four years.

"Well..." Started Hinata, only to be interrupted by the front door being slammed open.

A man who was about five feet tall barged in through the door. "Umuzaki Naruto, leave or be forced out!"

Naruto stood up. What the heck? Everyone stood up as well. "What are you talking about?" Asked Naruto.

"You know what we're talking about... Nine Tailed Fox!" Yelled someone from outside. The group realized that there was a whole mob of towns people outside of Naruto's door.

Hinata spotted her sister. "S-Sister! What are you doing out there?"

Sasuke and Sakura as well spotted several familiar people in the crowd. What was going on?

Kakashi poked Sakura in the shoulder. Sakura turned around and screamed on the inside, The inner Sakura cussed out Kakashi for scaring her like that.

"What are you doing here, Kakashi-sensei?" Asked Sasuke.

Kakashi grimaced and looked up at the ceiling. "Naruto..." He started.

Naruto looked at Kakashi curiously. Kakashi continued. "The people want you out. They're too afraid of you."

Naruto felt like he had been hit with a bullet. What did this mean? He had nowhere but here to go...

Sasuke, Hinata and Sakura all stood in the corner watching, the people didn't seem to notice them.

The man came up to Naruto with a Kunai knive. He held it against Naruto's throat and pushed him up against the wall.

Kakashi was ordered not to hurt anyone, but he could push and threaten people. The crowd outside was raging, and people were starting to come into Naruto's house.

The man started yelling at Naruto. "What is it, demon, too afraid to fight back, huh? After killing our families, having so much blood on your hands! This is why noone likes you, why you're shunned!"

Kakashi grabbed the man and threw him up against the wall.

He talked to the man who had tried to kill Naruto. "Don't you dare even try to touch my student. You have nothing to say to him!"

Naruto chuckled. Kakashi looked at him, surprised. Naruto's hair covered his eyes. Everyone stopped and got silent. They stared at him curiously.

"Let him say whatever he wants, Sensei. I'll listen." He said in a low, taunting voice. He lifted his head up to reveal gleaming amber eyes. The mob watched as Naruto violently grabbed the man out of Kakashi's hands, and with clawed fists, tore him apart limb by limb.

When Naruto was done, he licked his fingers. "Who's next?" He asked tauntingly, his gleaming eyes lingering on a rather large woman.

"The fat lady? The skinny man?" He looked around and spotted Hinata. He walked up to her and outlined her cheek with his clawed fingers. "Or the little human girl? Her flesh would be soeasy to bite through..." He smirked at her expression.

What was wrong with him? Thought Hinata, looking into his cold amber eyes. Every time he smirked he revealed fangs. His hands were clawed. And now, he was starting to grow a tail. More like... nine tails... He was turning into the Nine Tailed Fox! The mob had made him so angry that the fox had taken over!

Sasuke stepped in front of Hinata. "Naruto, back down." He ordered. He put his hands into a threatening position. If he could channel enough chakra...

"Poor human." Stated Naruto teasingly. " I can sense your doubt. You'll never defeat me. Never. You know that a pathetic human like you couldn't possibly-"

Sasuke blew fire at Naruto. He knew that it had to be done. Now, the whole crowd of people were all standing around Sasuke and Naruto, and Hinata and Sakura huddled up in the corner, both crying.

Sasuke stopped. He was surprised to see Naruto standing there, unharmed, smirking.

"Outwit me." He said smugly. He disappeared. Soon, a woman started yelling, telling everyone that Naruto was outside, and that he had turned into a Nine Tailed Fox.

Everyone ran outside and they were greeted with a Nine Tailed Fox. It looked down at them all. It remembered the last time this happened. He remembered getting sealed up inside a small human child. This time, though, there was no human child to be sealed into.

He started to kill and destroy, revenge for those fifteen years inside a human child who couldn't handle the fox's spirit. He had taken pity on the child. He had seen how he was shunned, rejected. He had known everything about the boy, his pain, his love, his anger. Now he was avenging the boy as well as himself.

Author's Notes:

Hello! So what do you think? Was it dramatic enough? I really liked it, I hope you did, too!

I'm not using Microsoft Word for this story. (( I officially hate Word Perfect. The spell check is bugging the crap outta me.))

Oh! And does the fox have a name? Can someone tell me?

Well, Read and Review! Please, please give me suggestions! I feel a writer's block coming on! Save me!
